Clean Cooking Alliance Releases Statement on New G7 Commitment to Clean Cooking
G7 Ministers Meeting Communiqu茅 highlights urgency of addressing this overlooked, underfunded global crisis
The CEO of the Clean Cooking Alliance Dymphna van der Lans released a statement following the G7 Climate, Energy, and Environment Ministers meeting this week in Italy:听
鈥淚 commend G7 Climate, Energy, and Environment Ministers for their commitment to clean cooking. The G7鈥檚 support, which highlights clean cooking as a critical component of ‘just, inclusive, and sustainable energy transitions,’ underscores the urgency of addressing a global crisis that is too often overlooked and woefully underfunded. 听
鈥淚t鈥檚 now time to transform these commitments into action. 听
鈥淪ince its founding in 2010, the Clean Cooking Alliance has worked to ensure access to clean cooking to the billions of people who live without it. The G7 Communiqu茅 provides a strong recognition of our efforts. 听
鈥淲e urge all G7 member states to back their commitments with the resources and action necessary to solve this crisis, which costs the global economy more than $2 trillion each year and is responsible for as much climate-harming emissions as the global aviation and shipping industries.听
鈥淭he G7鈥檚 clear support for clean cooking marks an important reminder for why access to clean cooking must be a global priority鈥攁nd that governments must step in to provide the resources needed to solve it.鈥�听
